  March 11, 2021 - Not bad for an old wine. Just wanted to taste my birth year wine. Little maderized, but that can be expected with something this old. Little raisin, minerality as in a fish sauce.
  *3-4th night. Developing for the better had to rescore.

  November 26, 2014 - Very brown and necrotic, with some wierd phenolics on the nose. Not drinkable.

  October 12, 2013 - Opened without any expectations, but with a nice surprise:
  Cork was still good and tight, wine showed no signs of cork, very few Sediment. I drank the wine without decanting.
  Color was orange red with Brown reflexes, so definitively an old boy. It was not crystal clear because of some fine Sediment. Still interesting nose of (medicinal) herbs, lovage, earth, leather, some oxidative notes. On the palate a still powerful and well integrated acidity, some fruit, animalic and earthy notes. Medium+ finish.
  Not a Blockbuster but a nice suprise :)
